I have been developing my digital presence for a while. It actually started after &#8220;meeting&#8221; a couple of Royal Roads Alumni Chad Flinn and Tim Carson on Twitter, of all places. After that I started to use social media like Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn a lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I began to use social media actively both for personal and professional growth. It was through these channels that\u00a0I created my own community of practices with trades professors, post secondary professors and just educators in general. By doing this. It has allowed me to grow as a teacher, learning from so many like minded individuals. That led to me doing a live video over YouTube on Trades Education and creating my own podcast called Trades Educator Podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating my own podcast on education has been my little baby. I have always said, \u201cit\u2019s my free education\u201d. I have grown by interviewing not just trades educators but educators all across post-secondary. With my podcast and all my social media accounts, I have also tried to give back to the trades. I have done this by promoting Trades Education as an equally great educational pathway alongside college and university. It is because of all this time spent over the internet, that my presence has greatly increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My digital presence has now grown to a level that when I meet people for the first time, they say, \u201cI know you. You are very active on Twitter\u201d or\u201d I heard your podcast\u201d. When they share their stories it makes me feel good and reinforces why I do it. It helps me to continuously learn more and grow as an educator and a person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mapped out my technology use, I wasn&#8217;t overly surprised that I was heavily on the resident side.
